  1. Rinse chicken; pat dry. Place chicken pieces, skin side down, on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat about 20 minutes or till lightly browned.
  2. Meanwhile, for lime glaze, in a bowl stir together lime peel, lime juice, oil garlic, black pepper, thyme or basil, and salt.
